Autumn Rose


What color is the rose in Autumn, my love?
Yellow was the rose in spring,
when the rain gently fell
caressing the moments,
and our love was everything -

Please tell me again, the color
of the rose in Autumn -
Red was its summertime hue,
when in full blossom,
in the sun of the season,
love was all we knew

Oh, tell me my love,
the shade of the Autumn rose,
that you will bring to my door!
Is the color of your
mellow brown eyes, reflecting
colors from the seasons before?

  18. Enjoyed the structure of this .... and the fact that you did not introduce winter which could have changed the tone of the poem greatly.
